Hi gentlemen! Hope you are staying safe and warm.

I was wondering if you're aware of any colleges taking advantage of the special enrollment period<https://www.wahealthplanfinder.org/_content/Homepage.html> for health insurance being made available as a result of the President's executive order, by notifying students of their options for coverage?

With so many community college students going uninsured and the previous Administration having made it very difficult to find out about coverage and enrollment periods, this could be a lifeline to those dealing directly or indirectly with pandemic health complications.

Thanks for any information you can provide about this!
